At his daughter’s baptism, Balder hopes for a joyful family gathering - until his estranged father unexpectedly arrives, dragging decades of buried secrets back into the open. What follows is a provocative, heartfelt journey into the past, seen through the eyes of two brothers raised between two very different parents: their father Lars, a self-declared porn king who saw eroticism as political rebellion, and their mother, a discreet feminist who fought to shield her sons from the truth.

Set in conservative Norway from the 1970s through the 1990s, In the Name of Love charts the rise and fall of a family empire built on adult entertainment - through the VHS boom, censorship crackdowns, and shifting cultural norms. Blending coming-of-age drama, social satire, and emotional family reckoning, this is a unique and personal story inspired by the real life of director Bård Breien (The Art of Negative Thinking).

As past and present collide, Balder must confront the legacy he tried to forget. Can love survive the truth?
